Story
We found Chocolate several months ago hurt in the rain and fostered him while we find a new home. He is great with my other dogs and very sweet. He listens and is very smart. He is very active and loves to exercise. My husband and I currently work over 12hr shifts and barley have time for him. He is currently in a crate for long hours and it breaks my heart which is why I have the urge to relocate him asap. He deserves a chance to be active and loved.

Story
I adopted Sweet Pea from a rescue in 2015, she is a puppy mill survivor. She is currently about 12 years old and has a very calm, sweet demeanor. She can be playful and rambunctious when encouraged by her brother Tigger (Boston Terrier), and enjoys sleeping and snuggling with anything she can get her paws around. Although I'd very much like to keep Sweet Pea in my home, I'm unable to due to financial hardship. If possible, I'd like to make sure she stays with her brother Tigger, a 10 year Boston Terrier. I'm looking for a home that will give her (and hopefully her brother) an environment they'd thrive in. Both dogs have been very good with children in all their past-experiences. To describe their personality with children (and people in general), Sweet Pea takes a very curious, playful and motherly attitude and Tigger is very much the playful type.

Stone Mountain, GA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bruce was a stray who was sleeping outside of our door in 9 degree weather in December of 2022, we are unfortunately unable to continue to keep Bruce due to being due for a baby in January 2025. We don’t have an exact age for Bruce but we have an estimate that is he probably about 3 years old now. Bruce has endured trauma with being attacked by multiple other dogs who were off leash resulting in him being afraid and not friendly with other dogs. He is okay with strangers/people that are coming into the house but definitely more fearful and barks at strangers when on a walk/ leash. Although Bruce has gone through a lot he still continues to be very loving, cuddly, kiss giver and greets us with utmost excitement everytime we come home. He also looks forward to his play time. Bruce knows how to sit, stay, lay down and ask to go potty. We are looking for an adopter who does not have other dogs and can be patient with Bruce and what has gone through. (Bruce has his rabies and flea shots)
